Messier 33, in Triangulum
September 22, 2013 at 5:10 am
I took this image two years ago, and had a lot of trouble processing it. I've learned a lot since then and decided to give it another try. I think it came out pretty good. Enjoy:

I think you need to use a more powerful flash. All I see is black and a bunch of dust specks.

I have a niece who is a huge kockey fan, but I've never been one much (we don't have a professional team here is probably why). I love college football and basketball.

Drum roll, please...

Looks like it came out really nice to me.
I look at a lot of pics like this and wish I had the gear to take my own but I currently don't.
Good work keep at it this could be published.

Thanks.
You should join a local astronomy club. You'd be surprised how many in the club would be willing to teach you the tricks and even loan you a scope.

Apparently, you don't realize how hard it is to image black sky.
